-This offers users of OpenSSH an effective PKI, including the
-possibility for key transitions, transitive identifications,
-revocations, and expirations. It also actively invites broader
-participation in the [OpenPGP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openpgp)
-[web of trust](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust).

-## Philosophy ##
-
-Humans (and
-[monkeys](http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi-17/mi-17.html))
-have innate capacity to keep track of the identity of a finite number
-of people. After our social sphere exceeds several dozen or several
-hundred (depending on the individual), our ability to remember and
-distinguish people begins to break down. In other words, at a certain
-point, we can't know for sure that the person we ran into in the
-produce aisle really is the same person who we met at the party last
-week.
-
-For most of us, this limitation has not posed much of a problem in our
-daily, off-line lives. With the Internet, however, we have an ability
-to interact with vastly larger numbers of people than we had
-before. In addition, on the Internet we lose many of our tricks for
-remembering and identifying people (physical characteristics, sound of
-the voice, etc.).
-
-Fortunately, with online communications we have easy access to tools
-that can help us navigate these problems.
-[OpenPGP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openpgp) (a cryptographic
-protocol commonly used for sending signed and encrypted email
-messages) is one such tool. In its simplest form, it allows us to
-sign our communication in such a way that the recipient can verify the
-sender.
-
-OpenPGP goes beyond this simple use to implement a feature known as
-the [web of trust](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust). The web
-of trust allows people who have never met in person to communicate
-with a reasonable degree of certainty that they are who they say they
-are. It works like this: Person A trusts Person B. Person B verifies
-Person C's identity. Then, Person A can verify Person C's identity.
-
-The Monkeyshpere's broader goals are to extend the use of OpenPGP from
-email communications to other activities, such as:
-
- * conclusively identifying the remote server in a remote login session
- * granting access to servers to people we've never directly met
